This morning, like many of you, I heard retired baseball manager Tony LaRussa on NPR's "Morning Edition" talking about his induction this weekend in the the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. He suggested Mark McGwire should be inducted into the Hall of Fame but with an asterisk. As a manager who benefited from McGwire's performance, should LaRussa's plaque have an asterisk, too?

On Monday, the FCC levied fines against Viacom, NBC Universal and ESPN for around $2 million for airing a TV spot with the movie trailer for "Olympus Has Fallen" last year. The trailer used tones that sounded very much like the ones used for emergency alerts.

"Peaceful Beasts in an Ocean of Weeds," the debut album from the folk duo Blessed Feathers, was mostly inspired by places they had lived in. The Wisconsin group only continued to add places to its list, thanks to a two-year span that's seen its members go nomadic, release a new full-length album, build buzz and find themselves the cause of controversy on NPR. It's been quite a road, one that now leads to a show at The Pabst Theater Friday night.
